Okay, after making you guess the lie in our 2 Truths & a Lie: Excellence Coral edition, I figured I should probably tell you what we actually LOVED about this resort. 🌴😂
First—the resort itself is gorgeous. Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres opened in 2024, so everything feels new, modern and beautifully designed.
And our ROOM. 😍
We absolutely splurged on an Excellence Club Two-Story Rooftop Terrace Suite with a private pool and ocean view…and I have ZERO regrets. It was easily my favorite hotel/resort room I’ve ever stayed in. Honestly, the room became part of the vacation—which was exactly what we wanted for this trip.
When we were choosing a resort, Bryan and I had two big requirements:
🍽️ Really good food
💆♀️ A highly rated spa
And Excellence Coral delivered on both.
Was every single meal life-changing? No. But the vast majority were really good, and a few were absolute standouts.
🥩 Steak & eggs for breakfast — We ordered it THREE times. That should tell you everything.
🇲🇽 7-course Flavors of Mexico tasting — There was a $50/person upcharge and it was 100% worth it. One of our favorite meals of the trip. (If you know, you know 🐜)
🇫🇷 The French restaurant — One of MY favorites. Bryan probably could have gone the rest of his life without eating a snail. 🐌😂
And then, because apparently we are those people now, we actually wanted to hit the gym every day on vacation. 😂
Moving our bodies keeps us from feeling like garbage, and we have two young boys at home who require a level of stamina I was not properly warned about.
The gym was fantastic…large, tons of equipment, plenty of options and fitness classes available. My only note: it definitely got busier around 8–9 a.m.
But the REAL standout of the entire resort?
✨ Miilé Spa. ✨
We went THREE times.
Twice for spa treatments + hydrotherapy and once just for hydrotherapy because apparently we decided vacation Whitney & Bryan are spa people now.
Our second treatment absolutely BLEW. MY. MIND.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that spa experience alone might be enough to get me to book Excellence Coral again.
And considering the bed was a little firmer than this girl prefers 😂…that is saying something.
Beautiful resort. Incredible room. Really good food. Fantastic gym. And a spa that may have ruined other spas for me.
Would we go back? Absolutely. 🌴❤️
